Though whatever type of main game we get, I hope that they made a big step up for the series. You know, Something like what CAPCOM did with the Mega Man series with Mega Man X. Something like what they meant by that the series "evolving" this year.

But hey, I'm super pumped for this announcement. Even to the point that I put a warning about how I'll be like on facebook.

It has been establish that gen 1 and gen 2 had a 3 years life span, it's not too early for gen 6.

Yeah, that was Gen 1 and 2. Why would they do it for Gen 5?

That's your opinion.

Actually yeah. They release several games for certain series (PMD, Pokemon Ranger etc.) before a next Gen is announced.

With further analysis of the context we have, it may be 6th Gen. But I stand by my original claims 6th Gen doesn't seem very likely unless the game won't be released until next year, which would be dumb, why announce it so early?

What if it is R/S remakes for 3DS in the 6th gen... I mean released before the main series game.

Nnnnnnnnno.

Okay, that's fair. Let's talk about other things that no one wants and no one thinks will happen.

Do you guys think Adam West will do voice acting for the BW4, which is the crossover with CoD and consists entirely of DLC?

Because they serve as good filler cash cows when nothing's in the works. Thing is, if Gen 5 ends in September, there may not be a need for a Ranger game (though there's nothing stopping them from revealing/releasing one between now and September, mind you).

I was thinking about it and it seems pretty plausible. It's too early for a 6th Gen, R/S/E remake is a possibility. I'm putting my bet on an MMORPG or R/S/E anything else would be pretty strange on their pattern of releasing stuff.

An MMORPG would be extremely strange. Pokemon's main audience is children; being able to communicate with strangers is unacceptable for a children's game unless chat features are limited to prewritten phrases. Plus, MMORPGs are historically not the best investment in terms of game development, as they require insane amounts of money to maintain several servers to allow the massive amount of inter-connectivity with as little lag as possible. Given that their main audience is outside of the MMORPG market, I don't see it likely that Game Freak and Nintendo would dedicate all the extra time and money to something like that. Possible, but not by any means plausible.

More advanced co-op features in the next versions are a more realistic possiblility; the 3DS has enough memory to host multiple players in an area without the need for remote servers.

Don't count out Generation 6. In my opinion, it's more likely than remakes at this point. Since Black and White released for the DS near the same time as the 3DS was released, it is likely that Game Freak intended Generation 5 to be short from the get-go.

Yeah. MMORPG would be awesome if executed well. But your right it'd be too much for GF and Nintendo to deal with. Although, R/S/E released on DS and Gen 6 a short while after on the 3DS would make them more $.

I'd love a pokemon mmorpg..but it won't happen. Gamefreak wants it to be mobile were people can meet up at tournaments and gatherings face to face with alot of people... leasts,.. that there answer everytime an mmo is broguht up. and thats exactly why i don;t see 6th gen being on the wiiU

Take a step and I'm on my way, gonna start all over again,.......again.

A bit early to be thinking of remakes/Gen 6 don't you think? We have not even started the N Arc yet, I think the announcement might be Meloetta or a new spin-off game or new opening scene revealing new captures or evolutions. These three are more likely (90%) to occur than remakes/Gen 6. And I pretty sure we not allow to talk of remakes and new gen.

Currently playing Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Annoyed about the lack of Emerald elements in the game.

And you think that would be worth a worldwide pre-announcement of the actual announcement?

Honestly after arguing with so many people about this, I'm kind over the idea of a remake/gen 6 remake.
At this point I think id even be more happy with a Meloetta event. Idk give some special moves or make her shiny or something. Idk. At this poin the waiting is killing me, so id rather hear about some new feature,event, or spin off.

All this waiting is killing me! Good thing I'm still on break before I start my second semester in college. I can focus on drooling over the announcement for a whole week.

Like many people I would love to see RSE remakes and I would also like seeing Gen VI come out as well. However I wonder if maybe they will be making announcing something that hints to both. It could be possible.

meloetta has already been released in japan, which would have no reason to be announcing this announcement there either,....

and what is Ash gonna do follow N around for 2 years? with what other goal? I don't see the N arc lasting that long maybe a few months.. half a year or so... it is possible 6th gen could come in september or so. i mean why rush and give out genesect and meloetta already? they could have just waited the two years and give them out at their movie like in the past...

the announcement may not have anything to do with 6th gen..but I feel their is a strong chance. or at least a 6th gen appearing in the next movie in july.. I think they want to get a main pokemon game on the 3DS as soon as possible..

Take a step and I'm on my way, gonna start all over again,.......again.
